Regarding Jim Palos' letter: It seems like when you don't want to hear what is being said you can dismiss it by saying it is empty rhetoric ("just words, just words?") or devoid of substance. That is what I hear from Barak Obama and Joe Biden. What I heard from Rudy and Sarah was substance. It does seem like when "the Anoited One" takes a shot or sends a zinger, it is a flash of brilliance to some, but when a zinger comes back they whimper that it isn't fair. That is kind of like the bully who picks on little kids but when one stands up to him he runs off crying. The leftist media was quick to jump on Palin's experience, but when it was zapped right back to them as being more definitive and applicable than Barak's being a community organizer they were running off saying it wasn't fair, just like the bully who put in his place. If one is fair game, then so is the other. Being a community organizer, like being a mayor, both have a place and a benefit to society, but being a community organizer in most cases does not provide the executive experience that being a mayor does. If Obama's community organizing experience is so applicable then perhaps he should tell what he has accomplished as a community organizer. I would like to know what he has accomplished period!
